QgsCredentials is also used in db_manager for postgis and oracle connections, in processing and in the postgresql, oracle and db2 providers. It allows to prompt for a password for any connection, stores it in an temporary internal cache lasting for lifetime of the current QGIS process and returns the stored password whenever a password for the same connection is requested again.
